Pay less for Azure

Resource Lens cross-checks cost, inventory, Advisor, monitoring, pricing, and change evidence so your teams can distinguish credible savings from risky guesses—without giving the service authority to change resources.

Resource Lens is a SaaS offer purchased through Azure Marketplace and configured from the Resource Lens portal.

Move beyond native recommendation aggregation

Use Azure's own signals as evidence, then add counter-signals, uncertainty, scope context, alternative scenarios, and review-ready implementation guidance.

Cost analysis ranks savings opportunities by estimated impact, confidence, risk, and affected scope. Live status, run history, filters, and reruns keep recurring reviews accountable.

Features that drive savings decisions

Resource Lens focuses on the capabilities customers need to control Azure spend: safe onboarding, savings analysis, recommendation evidence, implementation guidance, and leadership reporting.

Turn recommendations into accountable action

Each recommendation connects savings potential to affected resources, evidence, counter-signals, assumptions, confidence, risk, validation needs, and alternative optimization scenarios.

Implementation artifacts can be copied or downloaded for engineering review, with provenance and integrity details retained alongside the recommendation.

Recommendation context gives reviewers the evidence behind each cost-saving opportunity.

Procure and govern through familiar Microsoft channels

Subscribe through Azure Marketplace, monitor included AI-token usage and overage limits in the portal, and manage team and subscription access through existing Azure and Entra processes.

Marketplace billing keeps procurement, invoicing, plan changes, usage allowances, overage controls, and cancellation aligned with Azure.

User access guidance helps map owners, analysts, and readers to Entra ID groups.
